What is that Rosy palm and her five sisters ?

Yes Injun was right. Perhaps it's just a Sumatra idiom as my friends outside of Medan in Riau and West Sumatra knew this too.
Alia think about what the 1 maybe and what the five refers too? The clue is in Injun's post as the 5 includes the palm of the hand.
It's a popular male past time. ;p

The challenge is to be yourself in a world that is trying to make you like everyone else.
Ahhh ...! Got it !
Another dirty words for me and both in Indonesian and English ...! Yayyy ..!

got it too.. it's pretty interesting to learn idioms from other part of the country .. i mean even me the indonesian slang user , don't know all those stuffs..
dont judge a book by its movie.
I used to get pretty confused between angin & anging. So you can imagine the reaction when I used masuk anging instead of masuk angin once. Only after that mistake I realised & remembered the difference :P
whats anging?
ah I meant anjing. I guess not knowing the correct spelling was part of the problem :P
It would be a writing problem. Angin is pronounced ang-in while anjing is an-jing.
Indonesian pronunciation is very simple. Unlike English where the pronunciation of "g" alternates between g & j depending on the following vowel (ga-gi-gu-ge-go is pronounced ga-ji-gu-je-go), it's always the hard "g". In English "c" alternates between k & s (ca-ci-cu-ce-co is pronounced ka-si-ku-se-ko), but in Indonesian that letter is always pronounced the equivalent of the English "ch".
